Monferrato’s Slow Food, Wine & Truffles

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Tricia Mitchell

“Marco, one of Meet Piemonte‘s co-founders, coordinated the details of our visit in advance, and guided us through each excursion. He and his colleagues lead customized tours covering everything from wine-tastings, to cooking classes, truffle hunts, hiking and biking excursions, and visits to Piedmont’s rice fields. Having worked in the tourism industry for more than a decade, Marco speaks fluent English and also helped ensure that tour partners took into account my gluten intolerance.”

REVIEWS

“I think the best summary of our experience with Marco and Meet Piemonte is that it changed the way we’ll travel in the future – we now think that hiring a local guide is ESSENTIAL and will greatly enhance a trip. That is absolutely true for our tours with Marco in Piemonte – this was our first ever trip to Italy and we chose Piemonte just because we’ve always liked wine from there…”Kris and Emma Lehnhardt – Washington DC – October 2015

“We have been to Tuscany and other parts of Italy, but prefer to return to Piemonte every year with Meet Piemonte… Meet Piemonte provided our family with a custom itinerary that allowed us to travel on our own pace and schedule to visit places such as Alba, Asti, Portofino, Santa Margherita, Canelli, Serrallunga de Crea, Fontanetto Po, and Turin… We travel with Meet Piemonte because they are a knowledgeable, reliable, professional, and trustworthy company who have always provided us with the best local vendors…”Sandra Marcotte – Tampa, FL, USA – June 2015

“…Our guides met us in downtown Nizza Monferrato and guided us to the restaurant where our cooking class would take place. They provided excellent translation services with the chef, who spoke no English. That made the experience authentic and a lot of fun. Our guides, Marco and Alessandra, were upbeat, spoke excellent English, and were great to spend the day with…”Kathryn Warnes – Washington, DC, USA – April 2015
